Yes, it is.

As I said in the JIRA issue itself, this is all about working 
around the fact that MySQL doesn't fully support the standard 
SQL "--" syntax for comments.

After reading Dru's message about how Oracle treats "/* */" 
comments, I think it might be easier just to enforce the

--<SPACE>comment

format for all comments in our SQL files.

In addition, using the above format makes it easy to discard 
all of the comments in a file using grep or the likef or 
debugging purposes.
